12 Aug 2013

With five Q3 appearances and seven race finishes already under his belt this season, Toro Rossos Daniel Ricciardo has shown both ample speed and impressive consistency. But how well do you know the Australian? We asked Ricciardo to complete our special Finishing Line questionnaire in order for you to get to know him a little better

The sportsperson I most admire is Daniel Ricciardo: Travis Pastrana, a Red Bull athlete. Hes an all-rounder in all the fancy extreme sports from freestyle motocross to base jumping  and now hes even rallying. Hes living life to the full!

The best actor in the world is DR: Adam Sandler.

The most memorable overtaking move of my career was DR: In Formula Renault at Silverstone in 2008 and it was against Valtteri Bottas. I overtook him on the last lap for the win. It was fantastic - it gave me a real adrenaline rush.

My favourite song of all time is DR: Its by the band Killswitch Engage and is called End Of Heartache.

The best thing about the off-season is DR: Home, summer, beach and spending time with friends.

The last time I lost my temper was DR: After the race at the Nurburgring (this year). I started very high up on the grid, and then - nothing. I was very frustrated.

My first pet was DR: A goldfish called Fish.

The last photo I took was of DR: The fans in Budapest when I arrived.

The last time I overslept was DR: A long time ago - maybe at Christmas! (laughs)

The greatest feeling in the world is DR: Winning.

My most treasured possession is DR: My iPod.

My favourite drink is DR: Besides Red Bull? Vanilla milkshake.

You would never catch me wearing DR: Swim thongs.

The best excuse to give your team boss after crashing the car is DR: No excuses! Im honest!

The last time I lost something was DR: My passport in April. It was big drama at that very moment. It took me two weeks to get a new one

My favourite holiday destination is DR: Perth. I love going home.

My favourite time of the day is DR: The morning.

The best present Ive been given by a fan is DR: Its not a present, but heres a funny moment: I had to sign the collar of somebodys dog! The best present Ive been given by a fan? A series of cupcakes, each of them containing a word so that it read Go, DR, go, go, go!
